Coyote with a bad case of mange. He should be much fluffier than that.

my oasis is in my back yard

Edie...Funny story...last summer, Sean had some buddies over for a swim. His friends know where Sean's plant collection is--grouped together near the house by the pool. One of the guys decided to be a smart a--, and grabbed one of the smaller cacti in a pot and yelled to another guy in the pool, "let's play keep away from Sean...". Now mind you, these were all baseball players with pretty good arms... One of the other 'new' guys said "hey..throw it here" (he was in the pool-not knowing what kind of plant it was). Sean just stood there shaking his head and told them I don't think you want to do that...the kid threw the plant to the other kid, and he caught it mid-air about 30 feet away---along with a handful of thorns!!! OUCH!!!! I'll never forget the scream! Sean said "they'll never touch my plants again!!!" Yes, boys will be boys...

Need suggestions on my back yard view

It looks like a fence and the neighbor has a hedge. Who has the arborvitae? But yes, you can stick a bush in it. You will have to move the pots, the rhubarb, the green hosta and give up some lawn to do it. Now a close city location is needed for appropriate plant suggestions. Your snow picture says the right selection of Yew might be what you need.

Privacy for my back yard
Q
Comments (14)
If you want real privacy, where people sitting or playing in the yard cannot be seen from the street, then the most affordable way to do it is with living plants that grow high enough. Your local nursery can tell you what is fast growing and will stay healthy in your climate zone. Again, I would favor rose of sharon if at all possible, but see what your neighbors have. Willows are also very pretty. Most flowering bushes drop their leaves in winter, so if you want year-round privacy, you will need to plant evergreens. If you need fencing to keep pets or toddlers inside the yard, a privacy hedge won't give you that security. If you have children, avoid plants with thorns. Barberry is one of the worst, as are rose hedges. Be sure to ask your nursery about it because not all plants show their thorns until long after planting.

Looks like a little red fox and he looks like he's got some kind of injury which may be why he let you get so close. Be very careful when he's around. Call animal control.

Um...that is definitely, 100% without a doubt a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) with mange - not a coyote...

I don't know where your posting from but in these parts (new England) Coyotes look more like small gray/brown German Shepherds. This is definitely a red fox! A sick skinny mangy one. Poor thing. The black boots and two toned face give it away. Long pointy tail... no mistaking his foxy ears!
